I decided to use postcard save the dates and got them all ordered - only to realize that USPS only offers one kind of postcard stamp! It might be a good idea to include postage selection and purchasing as a line item on the checklist, around the time that people are ordering the save the dates, so if they opt for custom postage it will be there when things are ready to go in the mail.

Power tools or normal tools at home to be listed in the wedding registry tools. How do you not have any hand or power tools in here? You have 10 different categories for the kitchen. You even have "Kitchen Tools". I realize the person reading this isn't to blame, but this is really really sad. I really hope I missed something, and if I did I hope I get a reply about how awful I am for being so critical.

Hello! It would be helpful if more of the items on the checklist or more of the articles were directed towards men. I get a bit overwhelmed looking at all of the things that it appears I have to do, and it may be easier to involve men in the planning if there were more articles/activities that were either for men or generally androgynous. Thanks!

I would like having the option to basically cross off vendors I have looked into and have decided are not right for me. It's overwhelming to come back later and have to scroll through the same vendors every time.

Hello, I have been using the knot for all my wedding planning and I love it. One thing I feel is missing is the (sometimes uncomfortable) topic of pre-nup agreements. In an age where 50% of marriage end in divorce and divorces cost over $20,000, every couple should plan for this event that they hope will never happen. It would be great to add "discuss possibility of prenup" on your checklist and also provide tips on how to bring up this sensitive topic with you fiance, how to go about getting a prenup, the benefits of binding arbitration instead of divorce lawyers, and so on.
Thank you!

It would be nice to have an interactive tab on the website that guests can have fun with. For example, it would be nice to set up a poll for guests to pick where the couple should go for their honeymoon. It would keep guests involved in the planning process along with helping out the bride and groom by getting suggestions and opinions from guests. You could also set up a quiz that guests can take to see how much they know about the couple; like where they first met and how long they were dating before they got engaged, their favorite colors, etc. Wedding planning is about enjoying every moment and making it a fun process and i believe this would definitely be a fun idea to add

Please could you give an option in settings for changing the format of your wedding date. For example the only option currently is to have it as August 29, 2016, however as I'm British I would like to show it the English way: 29 August 2016.
Please could you add this feature?
Thanks!

How the albums organizes the pictures makes them all scattered. They should be viewed in the order that they are uploaded. I have pictures from years back next to a recent picture with how the layout is now. There appears to be three columns in the albums and I try to organize my pictures by the date they were taken, but the columns mix them up.

Our photo sections are currently being evaluated for some improvements. This sorting features is definitely one we are looking at and hope to see some improvements in 2016. The site should allow you to drag/drop your photos around in the columns so you can order them how you choose, but this can get a bit snippy at times. Thanks for your patience!

I have been very careful to make sure I am not checking the box that sends me quotes from "5 similar vendors." Yet, somehow I keep getting messages from vendors I did not wish to speak with. This has happened over and over. I am only one month in to planning and that "feature" is causing me more headache. I am getting bombarded with emails from unwanted vendors. And they are rarely actually "similar" to what I selected anyway. Vendors from outside my location I set, it's truly ridiculous. For brides who really are trying to plan their whole wedding using your site, you guys should not have that box defaulted to check yes. It just adds to the emails and vendors we have to keep up with.

We are really close on having this go away and a new portal will be launched so you can more accurately track your interactions with your vendors. We appreciate your feedback and definitely have heard this from others as well.

We need more than just 2 custom pages! I added my own pages because layout is important to me and your layout options are extremely limiting. I want to add a page for Key Members (my officiant and our parents) but now I can't! At least let member make 4 custom pages especially since there are so many complaints regarding layout options/errors/problems.

I'm sorry, but this new website rollout has to be one of the worst managed transitions I have ever seen - taking what is already stressful for most of us to a whole new level! Whoever walked into a staff meeting and said, hey ya'll I have a great idea, let's take a good thing and completely ruin it!...should be forced to spend 10 minutes with us disgruntled brides/grooms...and then they should be fired. I spent hours having to completely rebuild my website that I had already spent a ton of time working on, and I would have left theknot altogether once I saw the disaster, but I paid for the domain! But I'll save all that for another comment once I have less colorful language to use...

Guest List - the "parties" option was one of the most helpful features of the guest list. Please bring this back. Sending out my save-the-dates was a breeze; I knew exactly how many to order and addresses exported exactly how I had typed them. With the "upgrade" (not even close to an upgrade), I lost apartment numbers and addresses autocorrected to the WRONG information. How is this even possible? But most annoyingly, it deleted all of the parties. By the time I sent out invites, I had to go through and count the number I needed, often reorganizing the excel spreadsheet to make any measure of sense (that is, when I finally got it to export).

...which ties into the Seating Chart - categories of guests disappeared as well (I mean, so did the ENTIRE seating chart). I no longer have the option to sort guests into family, college friends, fraternity brothers, whatever. I was so looking forward to using this feature when it came time to create a seating chart. I experimented with it a while back to make sure it would work for my needs - and it did! But now it has disappeared. I read theknot's response to another comment on this, and you say it was removed because most people didn't use it. But honestly guys, you have to realize that some people half-*** it when it comes to using your tools. And the rest of us? We used all of the tools and we were 100% committed before you yanked the rug out! This has to be painfully clear based on all of the negative feedback you've received ever since the switch.

tl;dr Please bring back Guest List "parties" and "categories" - and the Seating Chart! And fire the person who lit a match to all that goodwill you had built with your old site.

I really appreciate you taking time to send this feedback. We have heard from quite a few members some of the same struggles you have expressed here. We are working on bringing back some of the features that were most loved and used. I will say that the reason some were not on the first edition of the new guest list manager is that they were not used by many of our members (like the seating chart).

But, we do hear your frustration and are working on how we can bring some of this function back. It is going to take some time, but it is being worked on now.

Thanks for sharing your frustration. We appreciate that you are already planning a wedding and need less stress in all these other areas.

Your website has been recommended to me by a number of people and I know it is being used in Canada. I don't know what rules and regulations go with this but nothing like the knot exists. I see that some places have registered with your company here but not all. I highly recommend speaking to major companies such as "Hundson's Bay" to build a Canadian connection and registry.

I really appreciate you taking time to leave your feedback. Right now we are still focused in the US, but we are always looking at opening the areas in Canada our brides need the most. I will make sure our team has your feedback as they continue to plan for the future.

On your registry, however, you can still add any retailer to your list even if they are not on our partnered retailer list. Enjoy your planning!
